Find the Right Hospice Care in Atlanta, Georgia
About 102 hospices currently serve Atlanta, including 8 nonprofits and 4 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Atlanta is the Fulton County core of Metro Atlanta, and a lot of mail that says Atlanta actually sits in DeKalb. Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, and the south side are different drives after visiting hours. Families usually start after Grady Memorial Hospital. A team that can reach Five Points may still be a long night to a DeKalb street with an Atlanta ZIP.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Georgia families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions. We bring together hospice provider comparisons, Medicare quality data, our Hospice Education Center, and trusted community resources so families can better understand their options and take the next step with confidence.

Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Atlanta. The office might be elsewhere in Georgia — that is common. When you call, share your loved one’s address so the team can confirm they can come to you. FindHospices.com is free for families.
Other important resources for Atlanta families
Families in Atlanta often discover that choosing a hospice is only one part of the journey. Questions about funeral arrangements, cremation, estate planning, elder law, probate, advance directives, veterans’ benefits, and other important decisions frequently arise at the same time.
Placements are limited and selective — we review applications and only accept organizations that meet our standards for this section. Listings are paid advertising, not recommendations or endorsements. Families review the information and choose professionals for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Atlanta
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Atlanta?
No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Should we contact more than one hospice about Atlanta?
Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.
Can hospice care be provided at home in Atlanta?
Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.
How quickly can hospice start in Atlanta?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.
Do we need a hospice with an office inside the city of Atlanta?
No. Ask whether they will come to that street and how long a night visit takes. A downtown base can still leave Buckhead or the south side a long drive after midnight, and plenty of Atlanta mailing addresses are in DeKalb County rather than Fulton. The city on the letterhead matters less than who walks through the door.
Is an Atlanta address in DeKalb the same plan as one in Fulton?
Do not assume so. Ask whether the team treats a DeKalb street labeled Atlanta the same as a Fulton street. Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, and the south side are already different after-hours drives inside the metro. Share the county and the neighborhood, not only the word Atlanta on the envelope.
Hospice Care in Atlanta
Finding hospice care in Atlanta
Families in Atlanta often start after Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital, Emory Midtown, Piedmont Atlanta, or Northside Hospital. Those hospitals can suggest names. They do not assign a hospice. Old paperwork sometimes still names Atlanta Medical Center, which closed in 2022 — treat that as a warning about outdated files, not a campus to call. What matters is who can reach the real address after dark. A team that covers downtown may still be a long drive to Midtown, Buckhead, or the south side. Plenty of streets labeled Atlanta are in DeKalb County, not Fulton. Ask whether the nurse is based on the Fulton side or the DeKalb side. You can compare Medicare-certified hospices for that address, and a call does not enroll you.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- Ask whether the nurse is based in Fulton County or crossing in from DeKalb
- Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, and the south side are different night drives
- Ignore leftover Atlanta Medical Center paperwork from the 2022 closure
- Confirm the county on the mail before you treat Atlanta as the service area
Where hospice care happens in Atlanta
Most hospice in Atlanta happens in the house, apartment, or facility where the patient already lives. A short inpatient stay, in a hospice house or a contracted hospital bed, is for a symptom crisis, not a move into a nursing home. Ask which bed they would use near that Fulton or DeKalb address, and how a middle-of-the-night call is handled before anyone is driven across town.
Local considerations for Atlanta families
This directory currently lists about 102 Medicare-certified hospices that serve Atlanta. That count is who can come to an address here, not how many offices sit inside one city.
Ask whether coverage follows the county on the deed or only the city on the envelope. Buckhead pulls toward Northside Hospital near the Sandy Springs line. Arthur M. Blank Hospital is the children’s campus at North Druid Hills, and Atlanta Medical Center closed in 2022. If the patient will go home to Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, or Decatur, open that page.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Confirm the exact street or ZIP in Atlanta — a city or region name on a brochure is not coverage
- Ask how long a nurse typically takes to reach that address after hours
- Clarify assisted-living or nursing-facility relationships if care would start in a building
- Open the Fulton County page when the home sits outside the city limits
- Use the Metro Atlanta hub only to scan, then come back to the patient’s city or county
This page is focused on Atlanta itself. Nearby cities and Fulton County can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Fulton County, South Fulton, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Metro Atlanta.
